Is this a single speed motor, or can it utilize variable speed? Also, can a switch be hooked up to it to provide reverse direction?

It is a single speed motor at 1725rpm. The motor can be reversed by changing two wires around. It's easy just follow the directions that come with motor. I had to reverse the motor's direction with the one I got. I'm sure a switch could be installed to perform this function if one wanted to do so. You would need a three way switch to this.

This single speed motor was a great one to have, it can go all day long running without burning its system as it was cool on its own way.definitely i'm going to get another one to use for my portable generator as i know i need a speed of 3354 rpm to run my generator motor to produce a normal power on its own. Thanks amazon a great stuff your prime.=)

As far as I know you cannot go multiple speeds, but you can go with the reverse switch

Motor is reversible with an easy to read wiring diagram on the motor, single speed unless you wire in something external

Pertaining to variable speed, this motor runs on single phase. Which is basically household power. Variable frequency drives (VFD's or VSD's - all the same) output 3 phase power. It's one of the reasons to use them. With on you can use a three phase motor on a residential single phase source. So to answer your question, no. This motor will not work with a VFD. Secondly, as long as the motor is labeled as such, any motor can spin in either direction, just depends on which way you hook up the motor leads. On the motor hub (where you connect your wires) there will be a wiring drawing showing you where to hook up your wires to run off either 120v or 240v and in which direction you wish to run the motor (CW or CCW). That goes for all motors.

To reverse the motor you need to change the wiring. It is easy. Have not thought of using a switch to do it but I guess it can be done. With regard to the speed of the motor I only use it on one speed. Not sure if you can put an in line box (reastat?) to allow for a variable speed motor. The motor works great. I use it to power a sander in my woodworking shop.

Yes it is. You will either need to switch the wiring manually every time, or you can get an allen bradley reversable switch and follow the directions on the motor plate to know how to wire the switch. There is only 1 wire that determines the direction of the motor and that is the one that energizes the capacitor and starting coil.

Yes, it has a reverse setting (very easy to use- just push button). It does not have variable speeds.

My husband bought this fan to use on our 4-wheeler to keep it cool while he was using it in the woods. However, he didn't put it on a switch so he doesn't know if it has variable speeds. He is very happy with the fan as it worked for his intended purpose. Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

to be honest with you when it was installed by my electrician he adjusted it. If I am not wrong there should be a switch on the motor to reverse. You should try this and see or read the instructions details. Sorry cant be of more help. It is a great fan and reliable. Great BUY!!

If the switch is flat on a table, and the knob is on the right, I hooked power to the switch on the bottom two terminals. The other two went to the motor and on mine, if I reverse these two leads the rotation will reverse.

I think it is a single speed motor , my boat is wired for a single speed non -self parking motor . It can self park but I didn't bother to wire mine that way.

This does not change direction, I bought one last year and installed it in my car/project to provide variable speed control for the 12v DC fan, instead of hi/med/low/off. For that it works perfect. I bought the same one this year for the same purpose, just a different fan, unfortunately they changed the minimum voltage, it is now 20v DC, so this will not work in typical automotive applications anymore. If you have a reversible motor the direction of rotation is typically controlled by a Double Pole / Double Throw (DPDT) switch. You can google a schematic of how to wire it up, but it depends on your motor, most dc motors are not reversible. Hope this helps, and good luck.

Thanks for your question. The model I have does not have the variable speed control, however changing speeds only takes a few moments so I've not missed having it. Hope this helps.

has a clockwise and counterclockwise motor with it. Not sure the techie name for it lol

No - single speed only. My recommendation - consider the Bosch 12V system. Battery like is much better. I had problems with the Craftsman batteries. They quit taking a charge after only 6 months. Sears will replace but that's a hassle.

Yes, it has a two speed motor with forward and reverse selectable rolling direction.
874358
yes .it run slow in forward super fast in reverse it not right you need to does is switch the wire than it will run faster in forward and slow in reverse there wire on this esc is not right it backwardi have tried a 15 turn motor it work with out buring up

Yes, it can. It has two independient motors and you can vary their speed using PWM (Sorry for my english, i'm not proficient).

This is a variable speed motor. I am very rough on the motor, and it's really taken a beating. I love it! I recommend getting the MinnKota 60 amp breaker as well to protect the motor.

I looked at mine and there is no way to reverse the motor. It spins on way and one way only. Why would you need to reverse it anyways?
